Chapter 627: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts
The lecturer who just opened the door and came in heard Li Xuan's words, and then saw Li Xuan still frowning at the memorial in his hand. Zhou Renshu had already vaguely guessed something in his mind, but as a former Ming Dynasty scholar, and also a first-level scholar.
He just joined the Tang Dynasty system a few years ago. In just one year, he surpassed many officials, gradually from local officials to central officials, and then was personally promoted by Li Xuan to enter the Hanlin Academy as a lecturer, which is enough to prove his political sensitivity.
Sex is as high as his talent.
When to speak and what to say are already essential skills for young officials in the Imperial Academy.
So he didn't ask any more questions, but said: "I obey your order!"
Then he backed out of Li Xuan's office and gently closed the door of the office. Just after he left, several Hanlin Academy officials outside looked up.
At this time, Zhou Renshu also spoke: "Your Majesty is going to hold a cabinet meeting. Go and invite all the ministers from all ministries!"
Immediately, a young and junior lecturer trotted out. Of course, he would not call the person himself, but would let the ordinary staff outside call the person.
As soon as Zhou Renshu sat down, another attendant next to him also came forward: "What's wrong? How could a temporary cabinet meeting be held for no reason!"
Zhou Renshu glanced at him, and then said with a straight face: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
These young people have no political awareness at all. Since they know that it is abnormal to hold a cabinet meeting for no reason, they should have guessed that something big must have happened. One of them may be a military or national event, or it may involve ministers from various ministries.
It's a big event, and how can officials like them be involved in such a big event?
This is not to say that they, the Hanlin Academy, do not have enough power. In fact, although the Hanlins in the Hanlin Academy have a low status, they are powerful. Especially those Hanlins in the Secretarial Department of the Hanlin Academy are the real ministers of the emperor.
, whenever Li Xuan comes out of the harem, he will always be followed by someone from the Secretarial Department of the Hanlin Academy.
This also creates their special status!
Zhou Renshu was walking outside. Even the adults at the level of minister were still not brothers when they saw him, who was only a fourth-grade minister.
But since you are a close minister of the emperor, you must always pay attention to your identity and the way you deal with things. It is definitely taboo to inquire about military and state affairs and try to figure out what is going on.
This is what Zhou Renshu demands of himself, and he also demands of his subordinates. In fact, his immediate superiors, the section chief and deputy section chief of the secretarial department, and the two bachelor's students also demand the same of him.
In the Hanlin Academy, especially in the secretarial department, the most important thing is not whether you are strong or not. The most important thing is that your ears must be deaf and your mouth must be dumb. Don't listen to what you shouldn't hear and don't say what you shouldn't say. Otherwise, don't
It is said that if you get promoted and make a fortune, you will lose your life in a matter of minutes.
For example, the emperor likes to watch dances recently. It is said that he even personally organized a group of palace maids to form a dance team. He also gave the dance team of nine people a nondescript name "Thigh Era" and asked Zhou Renshu to network with musicians outside.
This dance soundtrack.
Would Zhou Renshu tell the outside world about this kind of thing? He couldn't say it even to death!
Although he didn't know what the Tang Dynasty version of the thigh era was, just hearing the word "thigh" told him that it was not a serious dance. If word spread, this eternal sage might become the eternal yin monarch.
Therefore, as a close minister of the emperor and one of the four secretarial bachelors who were on duty for Li Xuan, Zhou Renshu knew the importance of keeping his mouth shut.
After Zhou Renshu, who was highly politically aware, reprimanded his subordinates, he began to arrange follow-up meetings. Even if this cabinet meeting was held temporarily, necessary preparations were still indispensable.
Originally, this kind of matter would not be handled by him, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy in the Secretarial Department. The two bachelor's degree students above, that is, the section chief and deputy chief of the Secretarial Department would handle it. However, these two positions
The high-ranking section chief had been sent out by Li Xuan years ago to inspect the frontline troops as an angel, to express condolences to the frontline troops on behalf of the Emperor, and to bring the Emperor's Spring Festival greetings to the soldiers.
Therefore, the day-to-day affairs of the secretarial department are handled by these assistant lecturers who are on duty in rotation.
Some of the central agencies of the Tang Dynasty were set up around the palace, and some were slightly farther away from the palace. However, Zhaoqing City was only so big these days. The people who reported the situation were all directly on horseback, so it was very difficult.
I will be able to inform the adults about His Majesty's summons soon.
After learning that the emperor had summoned them, these ministers naturally did not dare to delay at all. They came out of their respective offices one by one, then got on sedan chairs and headed to the palace.
But even if it was a block, by the time all these ministers came to the conference room in a hurry, it was already half an hour later. However, none of the ministers who were summoned had any idea what was going on.
, several people asked Liu Bagou, but Liu Bagou also looked confused.
The confused ministers had no idea what was going on and could only wait for His Majesty's arrival. However, they did not wait long when they heard a voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, a burst of footsteps was heard. As soon as the footsteps reached everyone's ears, Li Xuan, the eternal sage, the greatest and most powerful emperor in history, could already be seen walking into the conference room.
After entering the conference room, Li Xuan sat down directly amidst the greetings, then pressed his hands slightly, and then said: "Pingshen!"
After sitting down, Li Xuan nodded slightly to Zhou Renshu beside him. Zhou Renshu immediately handed a memorial in his hand, which was the memorial that Li Xuan had read before, to Liu Bagou. At the same time, Li Xuan said: "This is Guangzhou.
All my dear friends, please take a look at the folding book that I have sent you!"
Hearing that the coupon was sent from Guangzhou, and looking at Li Xuandao's face, everyone guessed that something big had happened in Guangzhou?
But when Wang Wenhua heard the word "Guangzhou", he thought of it. Could it be the information about the Folangji people sent to him by the Guangzhou government that he had reviewed?
Soon, he was sure that it was indeed the Guangzhou excerpt that he had reviewed before, because it had his own personal review opinions on it.
But that’s not right. This matter is just a trivial matter. It’s just that those Flemish people came to China from thousands of miles away and needed a place to settle down for trade, life, and residence, and all they wanted was Hao.
It is a barren land in the mirror, and a rent will be given every year.
Guangzhou felt that the recent expansion of maritime trade between China and the North should be kind to these merchants who came from afar to trade, and it was quite cost-effective to exchange that barren land for rent, so they had been allowed to land in Hao.
Mirrors store goods and live in. Of course, although the matter has been completed, there is still a discount to be reported in Guangzhou.
Wang Wenhua, as the bachelor on duty at the time, naturally reviewed this document. He felt that the handling method of the Guangzhou prefect was acceptable, so he gave his approval.
This kind of trivial matter is actually nothing compared to the many military and state affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Wenhua forgot about it after reviewing it, but he did not expect that His Majesty would actually do it on the first working day of the third year of Xuanping.
An emergency cabinet meeting was convened on this matter!
After waiting for everyone to circulate it, Li Xuan did not ask what your thoughts and opinions were like as usual, but directly said: "Have you read them all?"
"Now that I've finished reading it, all my dear friends, please listen!"
At this time, Li Xuan's face became cautious, and then he said: "Although China is large, there is not an inch of redundant land!"
In a simple sentence, it established the attitude of the Portuguese about renting Haojing (Macau) as a place to store goods and live in. Moreover, this attitude was different from that in the past when Li Xuan expressed his opinions on something in a tactful way.
He expressed his attitude in the simplest and crudest way.
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Wang Wenhua didn't know that he might have made a big mistake in the way he handled the matter. He immediately walked out of the queue and knelt down: "I will be punished by death!"
As the on-duty bachelor at the time, he reviewed the Guangzhou Prefecture's report and gave his approval.
Li Xuan glanced at Wang Wenhua, and then said: "If the Folangji people want to trade with us in the Tang Dynasty, they can go to Lianzhou Port and Guangzhou Port. There are complete docks, ports, warehouses and even commercial facilities for their living."
"Guan, these Fulangji people don't go to Lianzhou or Guangzhou, but have to go to this barren land of Haojing, hasn't Wang Aiqing ever thought about why?"
Without waiting for Wang Wenhua to answer, Li Xuan said: "This is because the Folangji people want to use this name to actually occupy our land in the Tang Dynasty!"
Then Li Xuan said to everyone: "Those who are not of my race must have different minds. The reason why I called all my dear friends here today is that I hope that all my dear ladies will remember this sentence. When dealing with these barbarians in the future,
Be more careful and don't let yourself become a sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages!"
Hearing Li Xuan call out the sinners of the ages, Wang Wenhua was frightened to death, and he immediately said: "I was not careful for a moment and allowed these barbarians' conspiracy to succeed. It is really a crime worthy of death. Fortunately, your majesty has a burning gaze.
You can see the machinations of these barbarians at a glance!"
Li Xuan once again turned his attention to Wang Wenhua, and then said in a calm and slow tone: "Wang Aiqing has not been in good health in recent years, and her affairs are heavy. It is understandable that she is not paying attention for a while. Get up, the ground is cold!"
